My ABS light has I believe been coming on intermittently. It flashes so quickly I can barely see it. I have 138000 mikes on the car. This has happened a few times as I am slowing down and about to stop. A couple of times my air conditioning has cut out too for a second and come right back on. When r...

Just wanted to post an update. Over three weeks later and many longer local trips later the car has been fine. I am now thinking it was a parasitic one time draw as one person suggested. My daughter may not have closed the door the whole way and the light may have stayed on in the car for a few hour...

Thanks for your response. I wonder if it could be the voltage regulator too. I have been driving it locally and it is still acting fine. I am going to try a longer trip into town but won't ever be comfortable again.

Took car to the mechanic. I have driven it on several small trips locally and it has been perfectly fine. Mechanic checked the freon and filled it with a can and 1/2. He checked transmission fluid and it looked good. No codes so we do not know what to look for. Praying nothing else goes wrong. I hav...

I need help once again. My car with 138000 miles and many repairs did some strange things Thursday night on a short drive home. I had my bright lights on and I noticed that my headlights seemed to dim or flicker randomly a few times and my message board put a message up but it went out so quickly I ...

Update - My mechanic called and of course he tested the battery and alternator as he does not trust results from Autozone and everything is testing fine. So I am off to pick up my car that appears to be running fine I guess. No codes or check engine lights were thrown when the ac and radio went off ...

Thanks for all of the advice. I have called my local mechanic who works on Volvos and he said he has used an alternator from O'Reilly's I believe in the past with success. He is going to test my car first and be sure he has got the correct part based on my engine number but he gave me a quote of aro...

I have a 2004 Volvo V70 with 135000 miles on it and a battery that is pretty new. The air conditioning and radio failed for one second when I came to a stop and then came right back on. I immediately ran it to Auto Zone to check the alternator and they said the battery was at 45% and the alternator ...

Hello All: More possible ac problems with my 2004 Volvo V70 base model. Replaced the compressor in June and the ac has cooled well but there have been a few issues. One came up soon after the new compressor was put in was that on occasion the speed of the air-conditioning would increase on its own a...

I have a 2004 base model Volvo V70 non turbo. I need a new oil trap, hoses etc according to my mechanic as my car started the whistling sound just as we were about to leave on a road trip. He is an independent mechanic who has worked on Volvo oil trap replacements before. He said parts are around $1...
